Build 16 was junk for me.

Build 17 works perfect. The phone and calendar force closes are gone for me with no wipes or nothing. Just for all those wondering if it's fixed already, it is.

When CM7 gets all the camera settings in it, ill be making the switch. Very excited!
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I don't remember what build I'm on... but it took me months to get GV to work. Finally Jamzersteak helped me get it right and now it gives me a friggin wake lock. What a mess..

**edit** Damn I am on build 11, gonna try build 17 and see if it helps...
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
build 17 works the best of all the nightlys so far...if you havent updated lately, this is the one to grab..
[EVO 4G General] typeadam:
Do any of these nightlies have a setting to disable camera orientation? I use portrait 98% of the time but the sensor seems to be so sensitive that even if I tilt the phone 1 degree the camera rotates to landscape. :confused: That's annoying. And I have the general phone orientation turned OFF so that it's always on portrait.

I'm still on nightly-5, no time to update. Just wondering.

Thanks!

[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
Working GPS (with perfect tracking)

I used an abbreviated version of what GALT posted HERE

Thank you GALT!

I understand when most folks have said GPS works they are referring to lock. I am talking about tracking! I drove around the neighborhood and google maps tracked me perfectly (with a little label saying 'accurate to within 20 meters').

Admittedly, it was a 5 minute drive. I have a 3 hour one later today and I will test it again. I will use the navigation and report back.

You will need:

1. A 'sense' ROM

currently

running on your phone (I had Fresh 3.5.1)

2. MSL reader installed (get it from the market)

2. Have CM7 (build 17 worked for me) and the latest gapps (I used the ones from 2011-01-15) downloaded to your SD card

Steps:

1. Open MSL reader and get your MSL (jot it down)

2. Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#

3. It will ask you for your MSL, enter it.

4. Upon hitting OK, your phone will just say reboot in 10 secs, let it reboot.

Phew!

5. After it has rebooted, boot to recovery (i used clockworkmod 2.6.0.1)

6. Nandroid backup (if you are so inclined)

7. Wipe cache, Dalvik and then wipe data/factory reset

4. Flash CM7 b17 from your sd-card

9. Flash gapps

10. Reboot and walk through set-up. Your gapps will be downloaded from the market. Wait for all the downloads to complete.

11. Use GPS as normal and enjoy the GPS goodness

I am not a developer but this worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I'm also having success with the gps methods above.

Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
I didn't use b16 but I am not having FC when making calls in b17

Also, I cleared the cache, dalvik and data wipe/factory reset before I installed b17 (and gapps).

When I rebooted and turned on the wireless, it already knew my wireless password and connects.

How does it remember my password when (I think) I have wiped everything?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
It backs up that information to google servers. Remember that option you selected when you first installed CM? Backup information to google servers.

Hey where is the option to uncheck network location. I can't seem to find it. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] mrvirginia:
i'm tired of all the "fixes" that may/may not work. i'm on a compiled build similar to 14. at this point, i'm waiting for a solid RC. i'm done with flashing almost every day...
[EVO 4G General] blueorder:
(As posted in CM nightly forum)

I may be wrong but I think "GPS Status" app does this without needing to install Sense ROM. If you fire up GSP Status and hit Menu --> Tools --> Manage A-GPS state you can reset A-GPS XTRA data and then re-download the GPS data (network connection needed).
[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
What exactly does it back up or where could I find that out? I thought that it just backs up the stuff you downloaded from the market.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I tried every gps fix and nothing works, including clear gps status. I will try this and post results
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Can anyone tell me if GPS works yet? I'd also like to know if HTC Sense has been ported over yet..

THANKS!!

ADW EX failure

I started with 16 just like everyone else and when I noticed the notification widgets were missing I figured they would be fixed tonight and I was waiting till then. Woke up this morning saw that 17 was available and that it would fix the missing widgets.

After wiping the cache and dalvik I attempted to install 17 and after a successful flash I keep getting held up by ADW EX freezing. Anyone else having similar issue?

Went back to 16 for time time being.
[EVO 4G General] gmmorrell:
I used that back in build 14 and it did not work for me.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I'm not sure where it backs it up. It backup all sorts of setting. Its not on google account setting so you want to contact google if you really want to know for sure. Also sense roms don't use this data.

/data/data/com.androids.providers.settings/databases/settings.db is the file that holds all android setting. So check in there to see if you can truely find where its going. You'll need a db editing/viewing program.
[EVO 4G General] blueorder:
I apologize if I might've misled you into thinking the app might fix the GPS issue. There is still an issue with GPS and the nightly CM7 builds.

The app does, however, clear the XTRA data and (if you are on 6.1.2 or another ROM that has working GPS) might help in making GPS lock happen faster.

I mentioned this app as a reply to the post above so that people could avoid nandroiding their ROM, flashing a Sense ROM just to clear GPS XTRA data and then having to flash back to their CM ROM.
[EVO 4G General] -viperboy-:
Did the latest build screw up anyone elses dialer? I got com.android.phone FCs. Wiped and reflashed, same issue. Maybe the download of the latest build was corrupt? I will redownload but just wanted to ask here.

Just noticed on nightly 17, if I close GV with the back arrow button I have to hit it twice, if I hit the home button.... only once...odd!!
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Can I ask what setup you guys are using with GV? Are you using a widget? What about notifications? On build 11 GV was causing a wake lock and on 17 I haven't noticed it yet.. but it is always running 2 processes unless I force stop it. One is an update service and the other is a widget service but I'm not using the widget..

Not sure if that's what was causing the wake lock but I hate seeing things running in the background.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Its been working for me as well 2 full days :)..build 14 and 15
[EVO 4G General] galt:
Glad to hear that the GPS fix seems to be working for quite a few people. Let's keep testing it and see if there are any issues down the road. I wonder if it will need to be refixed after flashing new nightlies? Keep reporting either way, if this is a consistent fix perhaps we can get it added to the 1st post.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
If it happens again post a screen shot of spareparts/battery history/partial wakelocks and click voice
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Oh ok, I should have taken a screenie.. I did notice that it was about 60%, in my blue bar on spare parts but didn't click on it.

So do you use a widget? And is your GV always running even when backing out of the app?
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
No doubt..Thxs for the heads up...ive been testing away and it seems stable..the app method worked as well but only for a few hours
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
anyone use calkulins clear temp file .zip? it says good to do before backup. any pros to this or is it pointless?

I noticed that a while back, it's been happening since at least nightly 12. I was curious as to why it does that as well.
[EVO 4G General] gx1400:
Has anyone used this method without a clean install?

I'm hoping to just do:

1) nandroid backup

2) wipe everything with Caulkin's flash all zip

3) restore a nandroid of Sprint Lovers or Myn I have installed

4) run this method with the hash code

5) wipe again with zip

6) restore my current running build from nandroid.

[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
I've never used it but I agree that clearing cache before a backup is better ..I use amon RA and he has it setup where u can Deselect cache:)

While running the current nightly (#17) I am getting random restarts while I have WiFi and 3g/data turned on.

Disabling WiFi eliminates the problem, and Disabling data when on WiFi eliminates it.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
It's happening to me on 16.
[EVO 4G General] wrich73:

It worked great for me. I backed up CM nightly 17/Mixer Theme +0.0.4 SavZen cfs/sbc kernel, then did a full wipe with RA, flashed a clean install of Fresh 3.5.0.1, booted up, entered code, waited for reboot (I never launched maps or logged into Google using Fresh) then booted to recovery, wiped again with RA and restored my CM7 backup.

gps turning off does lag when exiting out of all programs that use gps but if you wait about 30 -45 seconds it will turn off. the reason it turns on is because the web broweser is taking you to the google website which access' gps to give better search results.

GALT GPS fix

Said I'd check back in with an update on the GALT gps fix I'd mentioned earlier (about page 1008)

Half way thru my drive to stinking, farkin, brat munching cheesehead land (oh my beloved bears, what happened?)

The gps is dead on accurate as I use the navigation with zero 'searching...' This thing is rock solid.

Interestingly, I am typing this on my wifi-only iPad (as my wife drives) and using the Evo's hotspot. Nav is still functioning perfectly.

Didn't work, I tried that too. I will just try the new build tonight when it's done being made.

There is a thread (I think in Themes/Apps) about Theme Chooser in CM7. There is info posted by a few people on the second page that explains how the themes work and that the .apk isn't like a normal .apk which is probably why you're having issues decompiling.

Bottom Line - The GPS Fix WORKS!!

Heres what I did. Using ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 I...

1 - Backed up CM7#17

2 - Restored Fresh EVO 3.5.0.1 Backup

3 - Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#

4 - Entered MSL Number

5 - Rebooted

6 - Restored CM7#17

Map gets position almost immediately and navigator tracks perfectly.

Before the map position was erratic or just plain wrong. The icon in navigation never even moved.

Thanks!! Now lets get 4G and HDMI... Sorry, couldn't resist!!
